Calvero writes frequently and when he isn't writing he is more often than not eating Taco Bell, daydreaming about hunting ghosts, daydreaming about Taco Bell when he's not eating Taco Bell, working at a cat hospital, or screaming in frustration at whatever video game he's currently addicted to.

Find him on the web at calveropoetry.tumblr.com.
